Village curiosity.

The Villagers of Chipping Cleghorn at curious when an advert appears in the local paper, advertising a murder..

It's a terrific start to one of the best Miss Marple adaptations. The story is wonderful, the adaptation faithful and sincere. In this first instalment we are introduced to the characters, and given the first murder. How on Earth did the young Swiss boy end up getting shot, it must have been suicide?

Everything is on point, the tone, music, the script, pacing, and of course performances. The whole cast are magnificent, I'm particularly fond of Renee Asherson and Ursula Howells here.

A great start 9/10
